Application Process Samples [2003 - 2018]

@TheReaper
I'm no recruiter, but my bet would be yes! It's been less than a month since my interview where my MCC told me explicitly that they're pushing hard for armoured soldiers and were taking actions in the recruiting process to increase the amount of them. Given how long it has been in demand for, and how recently I've heard of it still being in demand- I doubt much has changed in a month!
I don't have all the information but I can talk to you about what I do know anytime! I'm sure you'll kill that interview and medical!   Good luck!!!

Hi guys,
This my first post.
I have been reading a lot of threads and researching.

I Decided to apply to the forces because I felt it is what I should do in the next few years as it suites my natural skill set.
Also I live outside of Canada ( In the U.S.) and I really would love to live back in Canada.
I Also have a questions, Other than the application is it possible to hand in a Complete resume?
I received an email to set up an appointment date and emailed them back. It Said wait 5 days and then call the center. So I sent another email, but I understand these things are slow. I am however genuinely interested in talking to someone as I have a few questions, Is there any extension I can dial to talk to a recruiter?. Even though Toronto is the closest city to me it is still very far away (few thousand kilometers), or I would go into the recruiting center my self. 
Thank you for taking the time to read my post.

Advice from another applicant who also made it to St. Jean,

As a female going through the recruiting process right now, my tip to you is to use the search function on this forum. I have been able to find an answer on here to every question I've had.

Although I passed CFAT and qualified for an officer trade, I was told that my mark is just on average and not competitive. I am really worried that I will not get offered a job. I wonder if anyone shared a same concern with me and received an offer.

Good luck to all who are still waiting to hear back from the CAF!!

Status Update:
Just finished my interview this morning, it took around an hour & a half to go everything. Got interviewed for all my trade choices, and will be on merit list first week of April. Hoping to hear for a job offer soon and start BMQ within 3 months.

 

[10wskali]

I am very pleased with how quickly CFRC Toronto has processed my application file  [. Medical and background check was approved within 2 weeks after my medical exam. I believe my references were contacted shortly after my interview since I was told on March 27th that my reliability screening was fully completed and the only thing left to do was have the Captain that interviewed me sign off on it. I was told that would take a couple of days so I believe I will be merit listed shortly. Fortunately for me, there are 10 openings for NCSE's and they will be sending out offers come April meaning I should find out soon enough if I'll get an offer. Hoping for the best. Cheers.
